Based on some research I have done, I believe the term "narcissistic personality disorder" (NPD) is relevant to this case. Poor innocent Terri got taken over by a control freak with a personality that demands adulation as a source of "power", and when that stops, the other becomes worthy of destruction. The day she dared say she wanted a divorce she became the enemy who needed to be destroyed. And whatever lies it took to achieve that, was what would happen. I admire the constancy of the Schindler family in resisting this evil. They deserve our awe and love.
Absolutely.
Robert Schindler in particular demonstrated tremendous character throughout the ordeal at the hospice in Pinellas Park.
Here was a man who was going through the worst ordeal a father could possibly imagine--his little girl being tortured to death in front of his eyes--while he could do nothing to stop it. And yet over and over again he took the time to minister to Terri's supporters who were also grieving. It was a wonder to behold.
Bob Schindler is a great example for all of us about what it means to be a real man.

I agree 100,000,000 percent!! The Schindler's are a shining example of a family who are full of the Love of God.
